NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE
An Heiress of Binghampton, N.Y. Marries the Family Coachman.
BINGHAMPTON, N.Y., OCT.30.-
Lizzie Phelps, heiress to $100,000, married William Slattery, the family coachman, at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Rumors of the engagement were afloat weeks ago, but they were not believed by her friends, who indignantly repudiated the stories. When the groom confirmed the reports it created a stir in exclusive circles. The Phelps family is one of the oldest and wealthiest in this section, and occupy a mansion at Port Dickinson, a beautiful suburb of Binghampton. Their refinement and culture made them prominent figures in exclusive circles, although the girls seldom appeared in society. The mother was very strict and until recently seldom allowed her daughters to entertain man acquaintances. Fannie, the youngest, fell in love with the coachman, who had little else but a fair endowment of good looks to recommend him to her favor, and the engagement resulted, but Fannie was jilted for the elder sister. Slattery’s father was sent to prison about twelve years ago. His brother married into the Tabor family who have an unsavory reputation in this section. One of his brothers stabbed another member of the family some years ago with fatal effect. When these stories reached the ears of Captain L.L. Olmstead, of Sixth Battery, it is reported that he threatened to shoot William, the prospective groom, on sight. The marriage, which was performed by Rev. Samuel Dunham, has been the cause of an estrangement between the bride’s friends and members of her family. No one was present at the wedding except the young woman’s banker and her mother, who accompanies young people to Afton, where the groom has purchased a business block and will begin a mercantile career.

Another Revolution in South America not Improbable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.- From present indication another South American revolution is promised. Private advices received in this city today indicate that Guzman Blanco, ex-President of Venezuela is in Antwerp buying arms with which to equip his followers for an invasion of his native country. Senor Blanco has been living in Europe for a number of years, in fact, ever since it was developed by his defeat for re-election to the presidency that his power in Venezuela was at an end. An open rupture between him and the present Venezuelan government has never before occurred, but it was tacitly understood that he could not with safety return to the scene of his former triumphs. Now, according to Senor Don Carlos Perez, who arrived from Venezuela late on Tuesday night, this secret understanding has been made public through an open letter published by President Palacios. This letter is addressed to “Guzman Blanco, former President of the Republic,” and is a severe arraignment of Blanco’s course while chief executive of the country. It states among other things, that Blanco alone is responsible for the humiliating position in which Venezuela now finds herself in relation to the Territorial dispute with England and condemns without stint of words the rights granted by Blanco to the government of Great Britain. It is in response to this open letter, news of which reached Senor Blanco some time ago, that he is supposed to have made his visit to Antwerp for the purpose of preparing to take active measures against his adversaries.

Mr. Gladstone’s Narrow Escape.
LONDON, Oct. 30.- It transpires that Mr. Gladstone had an extremely narrow escape while inspecting the new Frith of Forth bridge a day or two ago. While he was absorbed in an examination of the different parts of the structure a train rushed by at a high rate of speed, just grazing the ex-Premier in its flight and causing him to cling to the girders to present his falling into the water. Though the gravity of the situation would have unnerved a younger and more vigorous man than Mr. Gladstone, he retained his presence of mind and betrayed much less agitation than any of those who witnessed his peril.

The statements that he is physically ill were made simply to delude the general public and explain the necessity of the appointment of a regency.

A Bulletin On the Subject That was Issued Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.- A bulletin issues today on the population of the United States says the population of the United States, June 9, 1990, as shown by the first count, exclusive of whites in Indian territory, Indians on reservations and Alaska, is 62,480,540. These figures may be slightly changed by later compilations. In 1880 the population was 50, 155, 783, an absolute increase in ten years of 12,324,757. The percentage of increase is 24.57. In 1870 the population was stated as 38,558,381. According to these figures the absolute increase between 1870 and 1880 was 11,597,412, percentage of increase 30.08. Upon their face these figures show that the population increased between 1880 and 1890 only 727,325 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increase was apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.67 percent.If these figures were derived from correct data they would be indeed disappointing. Such a reduction, in the face of an enormous immigration during the past ten years, would argue a diminution in fecundity of the population, or a corresponding increase in the death rate. These figures, however, are easily explained when the CHARACTER OF THE DATA used is understood. It is a well known fact, having been demonstrated by extensive and thorough investigation, that the census of the 1870 was grossly deficient in the Southern States, so much so as not only to give an exaggerated rate of increase of population between 1870 and 1880 in the United States, but to affect very materially the rate of increase in the country at large. These omissions, the bulletin says, were not within the control of the census office. The census of 1870 was taken under a law which Superintendent Walker characterized as “clumsy, antiquated and barbarous.” The census office had no power over its enumerators. In referring to these omissions the superintendent of the tenth census said, in his report in relation to South Caroline: “It follows, as the conclusion of the highest authority, either that the census of 1870 was grossly defective in regard to the whole of State, or some considerable parts thereof, or else that THE CENSUS OF 1880 was fraudulent.” Those, therefore, who believe in the accuracy and honesty of the tenth census, and that was thoroughly established must accept the other alternative, namely, the ninth census was “grossly defective.” What was true of South Carolina, was also true, in greater or less degree, of all the Southern States. The omissions, in all probability, amounted to not less than 1,500,00; omitting from consideration those States in which the census of 1870 is known or presumed to have been faulty, the rate of increase between 1870 and 1880 in the remaining States has been very nearly maintained in the decade between 1880 and 1890.”

Attacked By a Highwayman.
TEXARKANA, Ark., Oct. 31.- Yesterday two young farmers named Markham, who had sold their cotton here, were robbed of $60 on their way home by a lone highwayman. The robber then took one of their horses and rode it off. The boys were soon met in the road by the Hon. W.T. Hudgins and Rollins Rodgers, two prominent attorneys of Texarkana, to whom they told their woes. The lawyers made fun of them and told them they deserved no sympathy if they allowed one man alone and unaided to rob them both. They then proceeded on their way, leaving the Markhams behind. They had gone about twenty yards, when they were commanded to halt, which they did. The lone highwayman relieved each of them of a fine gold watch and considerable money. After the robbery Hudgins offered the bandit a drink out of his bottle, but it was declined, the latter saying that he never indulged while on duty. Hudgins is ex-speaker of the Arkansas legislature.

The Spanish Steamer “Vizcaya” Run Down Off Barnegal.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.- The Spanish steamship Vizcaya was run into off Barnegal by an unknown schooner yesterday. Both vessels were sunk. The chief officer, second officer, surgeon, one engineer and eight of the crew of the steamer were picked up. So far as known these are the only persons out of the crew and passenger list of eighty-six of the Vizcaya and crew of the unknown schooner that have been saved. It is feared that all the others were lost and that the list will number up to eighty, if not more. The details are meagre. The Vizcaya left New York yesterday afternoon for Havana, with nine regular passengers and a crew of seventy-seven. It is thought there were some others on board not on the list. At half-past eight Thursday morning a large four-masted schooner hove in sight and immediately bore done on the steamer, striking on the starboard bunkers, carrying away the bridge and cabin. The captain was instantly killed. Seven minutes later both vessels had sunk, and the passengers and crews were struggling in the water. The steamer was a staunch vessel, and Captain Cunill was one of the most trusted employes of the line. One of the passengers not on the regular list was Juan Pedro, a Cuban millionaire, and director in the steamship line. Among the other passengers on board were; M.A. Calvo, wife, son and maid; Mr. Purr and three children, A. Ruiz, Jose A. Caba, Roman Alvarez, Juan F. Hedman, Oscar Islaur, Luigi Pellion, Jose Garcia. SURGEON RICO SAYS at the time of the collision he was in the cabin talking to Mrs. Calvo. Suddenly there came an awful shock and the steamer rolled well over on her port side. Everybody in the cabin was thrown down, and immediately a scene of the wildest confusion ensued. “Mrs. Calvo begged me to save her son, and I went upon the desk to find him. There a terrible scene met my eyes. The bridge, deckhouse and forerigging were all torn away. There was a great gash in the starboard side just above the coal bunker and through this the water was rushing. Close by on the starboard beam was a big foremasted schooner, with her bows split and fore-rigging gone and beams stove in. Men were running wildly on the deck, shouting all kinds of orders, and I can remember seeing the crew of the schooner doing something on their vessel. “The next thing I knew the water was washing over our decks. With a wild idea of saving ourselves, several of us clambered up into the port rigging. Down went the steamer and up we climbed. We reached the foretopmast and just then the hull reached bottom. This left us just above the surface of the water, but each swell dashed over our limbs. There were twelve survivors there. “Some of our crew tried to reach the schooner, but she went down almost as soon as our vessel, and, as far as we could see, there was not a sail in sight. One of the men in the yards, while climbing, said he had seen a boat LOWERED FROM THE SCHOONER and seven men get in and row away, but we could not see anything of it, although it was bright moonlight night. Then, in the hope of attracting attention, we cut the tarred robes on the yards, and, lighting them, swung them in the air, but in vain. “All through the long night we clung to that yard, growing colder an stiffer each hour. Toward daybreak one of the men thought he heard a passing steamer, and we all halloed as loud as we could. Then a boat made its appearance, and we were taken on board the Humboldt. We could not have lasted much longer.” The collision is inexplicable in view of the statement of Dr. Rico, that the night was a bright moonlight one and the sea smooth. A dispatch from Lewes, Delaware, tonight, says the tug Hercules arrived this evening and reports that the schooner was the Cornelius Hargraves. Ten men from the Hargraves and seven from the Vizcaya were picked up by the schooner Sarah L. Davis and transferred to the Hercules. The latter proceeded for the wreck to render assistance, but at midnight met the tug Butler, which had been to the scene, and found both vessels sunk and all hands gone. They picked up the body of a woman. The survivors report that nearly a hundred people were clinging to the wreck at one time. The schooner Hargraves cleared from Lewes Oct. 27, with coal for Fall River, Mass.

Revolutionists In Cuba.
KEY WEST, Fla., Oct. 31.- Victor Aguila, an employee of the Spanish Government, was discovered by two men in the outskirts of the city last night, who then shot and wounded him and ordered him to leave at once for Havana under penalty of death. He immediately boarded a departing steamer, but in the meantime authorities had got wind of the affair and arrested the guilty parties, and also Agulta himself, whom they held as a witness. Juan Gracia, a brother of on of the accused, assaulted the Spanish Consul this afternoon on the steps of the latter’s office, and but for the interposition of an officer it is believed that the Consul would have been murdered. Gracia is now in jail. The Cuban revolutionists in this city are very active and daring just now, and it looks as if they would make trouble in the island before long.

The Hampstead Tragedy.
LONDON, Oct. 13.- Mrs. Crichton, alias Piercey, admitted in court today that she had a liason with Mrs. Hogg’s husband. She invited the woman to her house last Friday and they quarreled. The woman then abruptly concluded her admissions with the remark that she had better not say any more. It is reported in some quarters that the woman later confessed to murdering Mrs. Hogg and putting the child out in the fields to die, but this is not confirmed.

FIGHT ON AN ENGINE.
---
The Engineer and Fireman Grapple in a Death Struggle.
---
A fight, to the death, between the engineer and fireman of an express train, speeding through the country at night, is a bold conception of a modern novelist. The fireman is jealous of the engineer; one night, crazed with drink, he heaps on fuel until the boiler is likely to explode. The engineer pleads with him, then expostulates, and at last attempts to prevent further addition. Then the fireman grapples the engineer and tries to throw him from the engine; a terrible struggle ensues. The fight is for life! They speak no word, but with teeth clenched, strive one to precipitate the other to the ground. Meanwhile the train rushes on. The engineer, finally growing weak, endeavors to reach the regulator, to stop the train and summon help. Too late! The crazed fireman guesses his plan, stiffens himself to a superhuman effort, lifts the exhausted engineer from his feet, explaining: “Ah, you want to stop the train! Now, out you go.” With this he flings the engineer out- but the latter clings to him, he cannot shake him off, so both go out together! Drawn under the wheels, they are found headless, two bloody trunks clinging in a death embrace! And the train, ungoverned, rushes on in the darkness! Here the story ends; the fate of the train is left to the imagination. It is easy to see that the chances are a hundred to one it rushes to destruction. So with the person having chronic kidney complaint- it is almost certain to result in Bright’s disease, then death, for the doctors admit they have no cure for it. But a certain cure may be had. Note what Sumpter Heard, of Frederick, Md., says, in a letter of May 19, 1890: “For five years I had been the victim of Bright’s disease, at times suffering from the severest pains. I tried many kidney remedies, and consulted as many physicians, but was not benefited and at length became tired of what seemed to be and was useless expenditure. I began taking Warner’s Safe Cure, and was relieved at once. The old symptoms recur occasionally, but I find relief only with the above remedy, which I regard as the best proprietary medicines.”

It is feared that all the others were lost and that the list will number up to eighty, if not more. The details are meagre. The Vizcaya left New York yesterday afternoon for Havana, with nine regular passengers and a crew of seventy-seven. It is thought there were some others on board not on the list. At half-past eight Thursday morning a large four-masted schooner hove in sight and immediately bore done on the steamer, striking on the starboard bunkers, carrying away the bridge and cabin. The captain was instantly killed. Seven minutes later both vessels had sunk, and the passengers and crews were struggling in the water. The steamer was a staunch vessel, and Captain Cunill was one of the most trusted employes of the line. One of the passengers not on the regular list was Juan Pedro, a Cuban millionaire, and director in the steamship line. Among the other passengers on board were; M.A. Calvo, wife, son and maid; Mr. Purr and three children, A. Ruiz, Jose A. Caba, Roman Alvarez, Juan F. Hedman, Oscar Islaur, Luigi Pellion, Jose Garcia. SURGEON RICO SAYS at the time of the collision he was in the cabin talking to Mrs. Calvo. Suddenly there came an awful shock and the steamer rolled well over on her port side. Everybody in the cabin was thrown down, and immediately a scene of the wildest confusion ensued. “Mrs. Calvo begged me to save her son, and I went upon the desk to find him. There a terrible scene met my eyes. The bridge, deckhouse and forerigging were all torn away. There was a great gash in the starboard side just above the coal bunker and through this the water was rushing. Close by on the starboard beam was a big foremasted schooner, with her bows split and fore-rigging gone and beams stove in. Men were running wildly on the deck, shouting all kinds of orders, and I can remember seeing the crew of the schooner doing something on their vessel. “The next thing I knew the water was washing over our decks. With a wild idea of saving ourselves, several of us clambered up into the port rigging. Down went the steamer and up we climbed. We reached the foretopmast and just then the hull reached bottom. This left us just above the surface of the water, but each swell dashed over our limbs. There were twelve survivors there. “Some of our crew tried to reach the schooner, but she went down almost as soon as our vessel, and, as far as we could see, there was not a sail in sight. One of the men in the yards, while climbing, said he had seen a boat LOWERED FROM THE SCHOONER and seven men get in and row away, but we could not see anything of it, although it was bright moonlight night. Then, in the hope of attracting attention, we cut the tarred robes on the yards, and, lighting them, swung them in the air, but in vain. “All through the long night we clung to that yard, growing colder an stiffer each hour. Toward daybreak one of the men thought he heard a passing steamer, and we all halloed as loud as we could. Then a boat made its appearance, and we were taken on board the Humboldt. We could not have lasted much longer.” The collision is inexplicable in view of the statement of Dr. Rico, that the night was a bright moonlight one and the sea smooth. A dispatch from Lewes, Delaware, tonight, says the tug Hercules arrived this evening and reports that the schooner was the Cornelius Hargraves. Ten men from the Hargraves and seven from the Vizcaya were picked up by the schooner Sarah L. Davis and transferred to the Hercules. The latter proceeded for the wreck to render assistance, but at midnight met the tug Butler, which had been to the scene, and found both vessels sunk and all hands gone. They picked up the body of a woman. The survivors report that nearly a hundred people were clinging to the wreck at one time. The schooner Hargraves cleared from Lewes Oct. 27, with coal for Fall River, Mass.

Revolutionists In Cuba.
KEY WEST, Fla., Oct. 31.- Victor Aguila, an employee of the Spanish Government, was discovered by two men in the outskirts of the city last night, who then shot and wounded him and ordered him to leave at once for Havana under penalty of death. He immediately boarded a departing steamer, but in the meantime authorities had got wind of the affair and arrested the guilty parties, and also Agulta himself, whom they held as a witness. Juan Gracia, a brother of on of the accused, assaulted the Spanish Consul this afternoon on the steps of the latter’s office, and but for the interposition of an officer it is believed that the Consul would have been murdered. Gracia is now in jail. The Cuban revolutionists in this city are very active and daring just now, and it looks as if they would make trouble in the island before long.

The Hampstead Tragedy.
LONDON, Oct. 13.- Mrs. Crichton, alias Piercey, admitted in court today that she had a liason with Mrs. Hogg’s husband. She invited the woman to her house last Friday and they quarreled. The woman then abruptly concluded her admissions with the remark that she had better not say any more. It is reported in some quarters that the woman later confessed to murdering Mrs. Hogg and putting the child out in the fields to die, but this is not confirmed.

FIGHT ON AN ENGINE.
---
The Engineer and Fireman Grapple in a Death Struggle.
---
A fight, to the death, between the engineer and fireman of an express train, speeding through the country at night, is a bold conception of a modern novelist. The fireman is jealous of the engineer; one night, crazed with drink, he heaps on fuel until the boiler is likely to explode. The engineer pleads with him, then expostulates, and at last attempts to prevent further addition. Then the fireman grapples the engineer and tries to throw him from the engine; a terrible struggle ensues. The fight is for life! They speak no word, but with teeth clenched, strive one to precipitate the other to the ground. Meanwhile the train rushes on. The engineer, finally growing weak, endeavors to reach the regulator, to stop the train and summon help. Too late! The crazed fireman guesses his plan, stiffens himself to a superhuman effort, lifts the exhausted engineer from his feet, explaining: “Ah, you want to stop the train! Now, out you go.” With this he flings the engineer out- but the latter clings to him, he cannot shake him off, so both go out together! Drawn under the wheels, they are found headless, two bloody trunks clinging in a death embrace! And the train, ungoverned, rushes on in the darkness! Here the story ends; the fate of the train is left to the imagination. It is easy to see that the chances are a hundred to one it rushes to destruction. So with the person having chronic kidney complaint- it is almost certain to result in Bright’s disease, then death, for the doctors admit they have no cure for it. But a certain cure may be had. Note what Sumpter Heard, of Frederick, Md., says, in a letter of May 19, 1890: “For five years I had been the victim of Bright’s disease, at times suffering from the severest pains. I tried many kidney remedies, and consulted as many physicians, but was not benefited and at length became tired of what seemed to be and was useless expenditure. I began taking Warner’s Safe Cure, and was relieved at once. The old symptoms recur occasionally, but I find relief only with the above remedy, which I regard as the best proprietary medicines.”
